yea couldn't be bothered lying underneath it.
Thought the best way was to do an underbody service was to drive up a long steep clay hill then slide backwards uncontrollably into a bank untill it rolled 
Was all good though just winched it back over, ripped out the glow plugs and pumped out most of the engine oil and she was a runner. The only damage was a stoved in mudguard and the snorkle was ripped out of its bolts. 
kind of extreme way of checking the Ujoints in the driveshaft...

Check out the state of the engine bay after removing the glow plugs and pumping the oil out of the top end.
